EKU Assistant heading to UAB

Anthony Wireman at All KY Hoops is reporting that Eastern Kentucky Assistant Richie Riley is heading to UAB after just a single season with the Colonels.

This is a mildly surprising. Riley is a London, KY native, which is just an hour’s drive down Interstate 75 from Richmond. Even bigger is that Riley played one season at EKU, and graduated from there in 2005, while a volunteer coach up the road at Georgetown College.

Riley has also spent time at Coastal Carolina, and at Pikeville College.
